This is truly scary.

When you sit around all night with a bottle of wine and refuse to go anywhere else because there has been quite a wootoff going on and you have already missed much awesomeness because of work and your stupid HTC phone that would not login so now it is just you, your laptop and this bottle of Syrah your little bro got your for Christmas as you watch the wootoff unfold on w.w...

You might be a wine.woot addict if you're still reading ddeuddeg's preposterous rambles even after it has become clear that he's gone over the edge.
EDIT: Technically, I guess that only makes you a wine.woot pub addict.

We keep a Leatherman picnic tool in the Aztek(the party car).Corkscrew,knife for cheese and other stuff.SO took it on vacation to Wyoming last year and forgot to check it on the way back.I saw the security guy at the airport open up the knife to her and thought she was going to jail.They let her mail it home.

I got tagged by that the last time I flew. I was receiving some wine at my wine locker and the Wellington club shipment came with an opener. I put it my my computer bag (have to enter things directly into CellarTracker) and just forgot about it until TSA pulled me aside and reminded me...

When you're busy three of the next four weekends to meet wooters in three different states.

I believe it was Pengu1n who did so.

.... are holding wine for a fellow wooter (non Woot wine) in one of your wine lockers, and it's not in the first one (opening all the boxes it could be in), you start on the second one (opening the ones on the outside that it could be in), and then decide to look in the boxes in the third one.

And the two bottles you are looking for are on top with the other loose ones in the third locker. Where you put them so you could find them easily when it was time.

If you start discussing who/what/when each of the Woot Cellars wines were offered on Wine.Woot on a special thread just for them ......

.... you might be a WWA!
